To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JEREMIAH PEcK, of New Haven, in the county of NewHaven and State to the letters of reference marked thereon.

This invention relates to that class of sashholders which are providedwith a sliding bar adapted to bear against the sash, which bar is.operated by means of an eccentric lever; and

consists of specific details of construction which will be fullydescribed hereinafter.

In the drawing, Figure 1 represents a front elevation of my improvedsash-holder as applied to the frame. Fig. 2 represents a crosssection ofthe holder detached; Figs. 3 and 4, views of the sliding bar Figs. 5 and6, views of the eccentric lever; and Figs. 7 and 8, views of thecylindrical case. The holder is represented full size.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my improved holder,I will'now proceed to describe fully its construction.

A represents a cylindrical case, consisting of the annular bottom platea and sides a, between which latter are left openings or, to permit themovement of the sliding bar B.

This bar is provided with a slot, 1;, and with arms or projections b b,as shown in Fig. 1.

,(l represents the lever, consisting of the arm 0, bearing recess 0 andeccentric sleeve 0 It is also provided with a central opening, .00, asshown in Figs. 2, 5, and 6. D represents the securing-screw, which, whenin place, extends through the central opening in the lever, through theslot of slide B, and also through the central opening of the bottom thewood of the frame. 7

The operation is as follows: A hole of proper size to receive thecylindrical case A' is bored in the window-frame at the proper point.Into this the case A is placed, and the parts B O are properly arrangedtherein, as shown in the drawing. The screw D is then inserted, by whichmeans all the parts are firmly secured together, and the device as awhole is securely held in place. by the movement of the lever G, therevolution of the latter by means of its eccentric sleeve causing thesliding bar to be thrust in and out at will. The lever, by means of itsbearing-recess c, rests-upon the edges of the case A, and revolvesfreely thereon.

The described device is exceedingly simple plate into in construction;It is also compact inform,

and its parts being few in number, it can be produced at a very smallcost.

Having thus fully described my invention,-

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- Y Thecombination of the cylindrical case A, having a central orifice and theside openings .00, theslide-bar I), having arms I) b, the lever G,having acentral orifice, the bearing-recess c and the eccentric sleeve 0and the screw D, as described, the case A being adapted to enter acircular opening, and the parts A B 0 being adapted to be cast and to beunited together and secured in position by the screw D, as set forth. 1
